Local dishware diva Rosanna Bowles designed this festively colored American Bungalow collection for spring. The vibrant hues of these perky vessels will brighten any bungalow (or craftsman, or rambler). Inspired by collectible mid-century modern vases and pitchers, these durable pieces range in price from $15 for a small teardrop vase to $55 for a set of nested mixing bowls. Modernists will appreciate the bright white vases. Each piece comes in its own easy-to-store container printed with retro graphics of 40s era kitchen and knick knacks. Available at Rosanna’s at University Village.

If you've never encountered designers who refer to themselves in the third person and you've never been made to feel as if you should just shroud your oddly shaped body (Large hips? Long arms? No butt?) in sheets at home and cry, then consider yourself lucky. Or perhaps you're just one of Monica Gutweis' customers.
